Product Description

Based on a photograph of Hollywood actress Constance Talmadge, looking into mirror, 1921.

When Talmadge was asked by a writer for Green Book Magazine what sort of stories she wanted to do in 1920, she said: “Although no less than sixty manuscripts are submitted to me every week, it is exceedingly difficult to get exactly the kind of comedy I especially want. I want comedies of manners, comedies that are funny because they delight one’s sense of what is ridiculously human in the way of little everyday commonplace foibles and frailties – subtle comedies.”
